To ensure Silver Stirrups is a fun and safe forum for everyone, there are a few rules all members must abide by.

#1. Please refrain from swearing or discussing explicit topics. This is a forum aimed at youth of all ages, so young children could be reading what you post. Please keep the forum family-friendly.

#2. Harassment of other players will not be tolerated. Please refrain from name-calling or making other derogatory comments. If you have something negative to say about a product or service in the horse industry, please keep it to private messages.

#3. You are welcome to voice your opinion, but please do it fairly. Keep all debates/discussions friendly. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

#4. Please be careful when sharing your personal information, particularly if you are under 18. First name, age and suburb is fine, but do not post your full name, phone number of full address. If you are advertising, you may post your e-mail. If you need to share personal information keep it to private messages.

#6. Please do not post any material that is under copyright.

#7. Please respect the forum: please do not spam, and make sure your topics are posted in the right section.

In other words, please keep it friendly and fun.

If you violate one of the rules above, you will receive a warning. After 3 warnings, you will be temporarily suspended from the forum. The next time you will be permanently banned. If you are banned from the forum, you may not sign up under another user-name.

If you see something that you think violates the rules, please use the 'report post' button at the bottom of the post for it to be reviewed and edited by a moderator. Please do not take matters into your own hands or 'mini-mod'.
